AJIO Product & Markdown Price Scraper (India)

Search AJIO (Reliance Retail's Indian fashion store) by keyword and get one flat row per product: the selling price and the MRP in INR, the markdown percent, the price after the best coupon, brand, department, seller, the product link and the photo. Run it on a schedule and diff the dataset to get a daily Indian fashion price and markdown watch: which brands cut prices, which products were marked down and by how much, and where a coupon makes the real price lower still.

No account, no API key, no login, no browser. One request returns up to 100 products.

Input

Field	Notes
searchTerms	One or more search terms, one per line (shirt, nike sneakers, cotton kurta). Each term is read separately, page by page. A product found by two terms is returned once, under the first.
maxItems	Products to read per term (default 100, up to 10,000). 100 per page.
onlyOnSale	Return only products whose selling price is below the MRP. Products that are not reduced are read, not returned and not charged.
sort	relevance (default), discount, price-asc, price-desc, newest: the choices of AJIO's own sort menu.
proxyConfiguration	Apify datacenter proxy by default.

Example input:

{
  "searchTerms": ["shirt", "nike sneakers"],
  "maxItems": 250,
  "onlyOnSale": true,
  "sort": "discount"
}

There is no start-URL input. A search page URL (ajio.com/search/?text=shirt) is the same search as the term shirt, so use the term. AJIO's category pages (/men-shirts/c/830216013) are filters on a listing, not a search, and no parameter of the search API was found that reproduces them reliably, so they are not offered.

Output

Prices are numbers in rupees; currency is INR on every record measured.

Field	Notes
query	The search term that first found the product.
product_id, url	AJIO's 12-digit product code (463292672001) and the product page link.
name, brand	As AJIO shows them. brand is null if AJIO sends none.
price	The selling price, the headline price on the product page.
original_price	The MRP, the struck-through figure. Equal to price when the product is not reduced.
on_sale, discount_percent	on_sale is true when price is below original_price. discount_percent is AJIO's own badge ("69% off" gives 69). It is null when the product is not reduced, never 0.
price_after_coupon	The price after the best coupon AJIO applies to the listing. Equal to price when the coupon saves nothing. See below.
coupon_status	AJIO's couponStatus as sent (Coupon Applicable).
gender, category, product_type	How AJIO files the product: Men / Western Wear / Shirts.
seller_id	AJIO's seller id. Null on products AJIO sells itself.
image_url	The listing photo.

What the three prices mean

AJIO's search records carry three prices with unhelpful names. Which is which was checked against 470 records of one search and against a product page:

• price (AJIO's price) is the figure the product page prints as its headline price: Rs. 1,099 for one CAHOOT shirt, 17 times in the page.
• original_price (wasPriceData) is the MRP the page strikes through, Rs. 1,999 there. It is on every record, and equal to price on the ones that are not reduced (80 of the 470), so on_sale is false for those.
• discount_percent (discountPercent) is the MRP markdown rounded to a whole percent, and absent exactly where price equals original_price. 1,099 against 1,999 reads 45%; 150 against 1,999 is 92.5% and reads 93%.
• price_after_coupon (offerPrice) is the price after the best coupon. The same product's page lists the code NEW30, "Get Flat 30% off upto 500", and 1,099 less 30% is the 769 in the record. It is below price on 333 of the 470 records and equal on the other 137; never above. A coupon can be limited to new customers or need a minimum basket, so treat it as the best case, not what every buyer pays. It is not a reduction: on_sale ignores it.

Honest nulls

A field AJIO did not send is null, never 0 or "". discount_percent is null for every product that is not reduced. seller_id is null on products AJIO sells itself (266 of 470 records).

• No rating, review count, size or stock. The search records carry none of them, so the rows do not either.

Pricing

Pay per event:

• $0.002 per run (actor-start), charged only after your input is validated, so a run that fails on bad input costs nothing.
• $0.00104 per product row written (product-scraped), i.e. $1.04 per 1,000 products. A row that is not written is not charged: rows filtered by onlyOnSale, and repeats of a product another term already returned, are free.

How it fetches

It calls the JSON API behind ajio.com's own search page. Measured 2026-10-16: HTTP 200 JSON from a plain home connection and, earlier the same day, from an Apify datacenter address, with no key or cookie. A refusal (403, 429, 5xx), a 200 that is not a search answer, or a dropped connection is treated as the address being blocked, and the actor rotates to a fresh one and retries.

Things worth knowing, all measured:

• 100 products per page. A page size of 101 or more is answered with an empty {} body and HTTP 200, so the actor asks for 100.
• Sorts are checked. AJIO accepts a sort code it does not know and silently returns relevance order. The actor compares the order AJIO says it applied with the one you chose and fails (at no charge) rather than bill rows in the wrong order. The price and discount sorts follow AJIO's own index: over 134 rows sorted by price low to high, one record sat out of order.
• The result set moves. The number of matches for "shirt" read 54,920, 54,918 and 54,915 within minutes, and two consecutive pages fetched separately shared 11 products. A run never returns a product twice, but a very long walk can miss one that shifted between pages. Run again for a fresh read.
• The search does not end where it says it does. Past the last page AJIO keeps answering products (mostly the last page again) instead of an empty list. The actor stops at the page count AJIO reports and when a page brings nothing new.
• Depth. At most 10,000 products per term. A page that AJIO answers with {} is retried from a fresh address and, if it keeps failing, is recorded as a failure while the rows already read are kept.
• Not offered. AJIO's facet filters (brand, size, price range, colour) and its category pages are not wired into this actor. Narrow the search with the term instead (nike sneakers, women cotton kurta).
